1 World History in 1 Chart

2 Astrolabe Sharing Time

3 More On Latitude/Longitude

4 More On Latitude/Longitude
Every 15 degrees 360/15 IDL at 180 degrees How longitude was able to be measured How astrolabes work Sun’s declination

5 90 degrees N latitude =

6 GIS vs GPS

7 Both Cartogram and Choropleth

8 Astrolabe Create

9 Quiz: Latitude/Longitude Stuff

10 Looking at a world map, choose the most correct location for this pair of latitude and longitude coordinates (expressed in degrees): 0,0. Central Australia Northwest Brazil Southwest of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean Near the South Pole in Antarctica London, England

11 Southwest of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean
Looking at a world map, choose the most correct location for this pair of latitude and longitude coordinates (expressed in degrees): 0,0. Central Australia Northwest Brazil Southwest of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean Near the South Pole in Antarctica London, England Explanation: The coordinates 0,0 mark the point at which the Equator intersects the Prime Meridian in the Atlantic Ocean.

12 Lines of ________ are drawn as east and west circles on the globe and yet they measure distances north and south of the ________. longitude, Prime Meridian longitude, Equator latitude, Prime Meridian latitude, Equator latitude, Date Line

13 longitude, Prime Meridian longitude, Equator latitude, Prime Meridian
Lines of ________ are drawn as east and west circles on the globe and yet they measure distances north and south of the ________. longitude, Prime Meridian longitude, Equator latitude, Prime Meridian latitude, Equator latitude, Date Line Explanation: Latitude measures distance north and south from the Equator as an angle. It ranges from 0 to 90 degrees.

15 01-08 Meridians of longitude on the globe
are the same length north to south. converge at the poles. terminate at the poles. intersect the Equator. All of the above are correct.

16 01-08 Meridians of longitude on the globe
are the same length north to south. converge at the poles. terminate at the poles. intersect the Equator. All of the above are correct. Explanation: Lines of longitude measure distance east and west of the Prime Meridian in angles ranging from 0 to 180.

17 Imagine that you are aboard a ship on September 21 sailing along the Equator. Glancing upward you notice that the sun is directly overhead. Your watch is set to Greenwich time and reads 6 P.M. What is your longitude? 90 degrees west of Greenwich 90 degrees east of Greenwich 180 degrees west of Greenwich 180 degrees east of Greenwich 30 degrees east of Greenwich

18 90 degrees west of Greenwich 90 degrees east of Greenwich
Imagine that you are aboard a ship on September 21 sailing along the Equator. Glancing upward you notice that the sun is directly overhead. Your watch is set to Greenwich time and reads 6 P.M. What is your longitude? 90 degrees west of Greenwich 90 degrees east of Greenwich 180 degrees west of Greenwich 180 degrees east of Greenwich 30 degrees east of Greenwich Explanation: September 21 is the date of the Autumnal Equinox. The sun appears directly overhead at noon. The difference in hours between local time (noon) and Greenwich (6 P.M.) is six hours. For every hour, add fifteen degrees of longitude, placing the ship at ninety degrees west of Greenwich Text Reference: Place: Unique Location of a Feature Difficulty Level: 4 Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge U.S. Geography Standard: GEOGRAPHY STANDARD 1 HOW TO USE MAPS AND OTHER GEOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATIONS, GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES, AND SPATIAL THINKING TO UNDERSTAND AND COMMUNICATE INFORMATION GEOGRAPHY STANDARD 18 HOW TO APPLY GEOGRAPHY TO INTERPRET THE PRESENT AND PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

20 Imagine that you are aboard a ship on September 21 sailing along the Equator. Glancing upward you notice that the sun is directly overhead. Your watch is set to Greenwich time and reads 4 A.M. (same date) What is your longitude? 60 degrees west of Greenwich 60 degrees east of Greenwich 120 degrees west of Greenwich 120 degrees east of Greenwich 30 degrees east of Greenwich

27 Scale Notes # on left vs # on right
Small-scale maps show more area in less detail. Large-scale maps show a smaller area but in greater detail. Fractional, Ratio, Graphic Resolution

28 Scale Assignment Create Two Maps One should have a 1:1 scale.
The other should have a 1:3 scale. Use as much detail as possible. Color is helpful also. Grade will be based on level of detail, accuracy of map, and aesthetic quality.
